I'm also using a Linksys product for VOIP (though it's different product). What is your setup? It looks like the device you have needs to plug into a router of some sort. Is that what you are trying to do through your linux box? You can do that in Linux - install firestarter from Extras, it has a nice NAT gui tool. But in all honesty, it is better to buy a broadband router to go between your internet connection and your lan. Then plug your phone device into that, and your linux box into that.
